Marshall law in Mindanao, more on Manchester, SORK fires at NORK drone: Links 1 May 23 2017

1, This link is from Reddit, which is a powerful mix of important-real, to total fictions. So I generally don’t post the stuff I see here without vetting the material first for a real source. But this is worth looking at anyway. It claims that this Islamic State logo was posted hours before the Manchester attack. Even without that though, one cannot find a bookie willing to bet that it was Scottish separatists.

2. UK: Muslim responsible for Manchester jihad attack identified as Salman Abedi, known to authorities

(One wonders if authorities went Salman fishing for this guy before on a catch and release basis.)

MANCHESTER — CBS News can now confirm authorities believe the suspect responsible for the deadly Manchester Arena attack is 23-year-old Salman Abedi.

Authorities said the suspect is known to them, but wouldn’t release further details….

A second 23-year-old was also arrested Tuesday in South Manchester.

Monday night’s attack was carried out by a lone suspect, but officials are trying to figure out who knew about the attack before hand and if there was a network of people helping.

4. South Korea Fires At Suspected Drone At Border With North Amid Missile Crisis

SEOUL (Reuters) – South Korea’s military fired warning shots at a suspected drone from North Korea on Tuesday amid tension over Pyongyang’s latest missile test which drew international condemnation and a warning from China.

 

The identity of the object remained unclear, the military said, but Yonhap news agency said it was possibly a drone, more than 90 shots were fired in return and it disappeared from radar screens.

 

The incursion came with tension already high on the Korean peninsula after the North’s test-launch of a ballistic missile test on Sunday which Pyongyang said proved advances in its pursuit of building a nuclear-tipped weapon that can hit U.S. targets.

6. Philippines: Duterte declares martial law in Mindanao

President Duterte on Tuesday declared martial law in the entire island of Mindanao for 60 days, Presidential spokesperson Ernesto Abellas announced in Moscow, Russia.

(Mindanao is the Island that has the most Muslims and Muslim related problems.)

Thank you all who sent in a cornucopia of information in the reader’s links over the past few hours. A little chaotic here, so no time to go back for specifics, but you know who you are, and the appreciation is none the less for the lack of time.

  1. There has been close to a terror attack a day so far this year, what is the rest of the year going to bring?

  2. Kim is going to keep pushing until we attack him, he is probably working on Chinese orders.

  4. Sorry if this was already posted – BBC Host @KattyKayBBC – “Europe has to get used to this” #ManchesterBombing

    “Katty Kay: mothers that they found who are still looking for their daughters. And daughters they found who are still looking for their mothers. And they can’t find the rest of their families. And I think that is what is making… Europe is getting used to attacks like this Mika. We have to. Because we are never going to totally wipe this out.”

    • “…Europe is getting used to attacks like this Mika. We have to. Because we are never going to totally wipe this out.”

      Nothing could be farther from the truth. In fact, it is blithering idiots like this one that push the West ever-closer to opting for simple annihilation. Consider one simple fact:

      Jihadists have no upward—or, for that matter, downward—limits upon their inhumanity.

      Implicit in this dire formula is that, one day, Islamic terrorists will commit an attack so heinous that not even a most pacifistic “useful idiot” would remotely consider openly suggesting the slightest degree of restraint—as doing so would (rightly) put their very life and limb at instant risk.

      This is not mere speculation, it is a guaranteed fact.

      So long as today’s Muslims are given such relatively free rein, Islam will continue to display its most signature characteristic; namely; unbridled, persistent, chronic, and entirely counterproductive overreach.

      This is where 0bama’s supposed strategy of otherwise flaccid, limp, and wholly impotent “soft power”, merely enabled and emboldened the better part of a new generation of jihadists. ISIS being a primary example of what this dysfunctional policy spawned.

      It’s a dead cert bet that Islam wasn’t in mind when Robert Browning said:

      “Ah, but a man’s reach should exceed his grasp, Or what’s a heaven for?”.

      Without immediate and brutal countermeasures, the grasping nature of Islam’s triumphal supremacism literally assures that its willingly suicidal reach towards paradise will, one day, see the vast majority of this world’s Muslim population snappishly ushered off this mortal coil and into that rapturous idyll they so ardently desire (or at least regularly profess to).

      When that time comes, ensuring that any refusal by Islam’s ummah (i.e., the global Muslim population)—be that opposition coerced or inspired by canonic deceit—to report or combat the jihadist elements within their midst, will mean less than nothing to the assorted fungal-shaped plumes of ionized plasma ascending heavenward from their most crowded conurbations.

      So long as morons like the tweeting loon that prefaced this reply, or even such highly placed apparatchiks as French Prime Minister Manuel Valls—with his proclamation that, “…France is going to have to live with terrorism.”—every last one of these appeasing or normalizing anti-Western termites increasingly must made to shoulder near-total responsibility for precipitating the eventual obliteration of Islam from the face of this planet.

      Just as Islam presents all other cultures with a Hobson’s choice of “convert or don’t” (with death being the explicit option to conversion), so shall Western nations eventually realize that opposition to this hideous “non-choice” must take on a similarly binary aspect.

      Only when Islam is presented with a genuinely existential threat will it demonstrate a dirham of compliance. Up and until that point—as in jihadist atrocities continuing to within mere minutes of such a deadline—Muslim terrorism will continue unabated.

      Again, nothing less than the threat of wholesale eradication—just as Islam has (rather unsurprisingly) imposed upon countless other populations throughout its entire history—will persuade even a small portion of the ummah to agitate for some sort of meaningful accommodation with the West (or any other cultures for that matter).

      An ultimate challenge for Western Civilization will involve encouraging the ummah to impose its collective will upon the ulama (i.e., Islam’s clerical elite). This cadre of privileged, misogynistic, insular, contemptuous, hidebound, sanctimonious, and pompous penile appendages will vigorously resist any and all “reformation” of Islam. Not that Western notions of religious “reformation” have the slightest application to Islam, but that discussion merits an altogether different discussion.

      Not only will the ulama (AKA ulema) power structure seem to evaporate, but any “democratization” (i.e., incorporation of public input), would so completely upend Islam’s perennial cult of mind control that—should it manage to somehow remain intact—this ideology would emerge in a completely alien form that could only inspire further centuries of endless blasphemy-based conflict and mass murder.

      Please rest assured that—by comparison—the longstanding, infinitely murderous, Sunni-Shiite schism would take on all the dimensions of a dinner jacket and white tie protocol dispute.

  7. Thanks God the perp was known to the authorities. I feel much better already…
